Notes
If you're allergic to cashews, you can also use raw sunflower seeds or 1 cup of silken tofu.
If you're gluten free, find a gluten free soy sauce and gluten free fried onions and gluten free vegetable bouillon cubes.
The cashew cream base will seem a bit watery when you first blend it. Don’t worry. Cashews thicken a dish up the longer they’re heated.
When cleaning the mushrooms, use a damp paper towel to wipe any dirt off. Running the mushrooms under water tends to make them soggy.
If you don't like mushrooms, feel free to leave them out of this recipe
